MHZ, I had never heard of In Only Seven Days. I still have so much to learn about Queen and that makes me happy because It means I'll never run out of new discoveries. I Googled it and the song is from 1978. To be honest, I didn't really care for it, but I have to wonder too if John is describing a real experience. He's probably the Queen member I know the least about but there is something I really like about him. I've always loved the pictures of Freddie playing with John's children. I did notice that OSD is on the Jazz CD. That's one I don't have, but I also saw that Mustapha is on it too and that's one of my favorite songs. I may have to purchase that some day. However, since I only listen to CD's in the car, and I'm not driving anywhere these days it will have to wait.
I do enjoy analyzing books so I'm glad I found this thread. When you were discussing AIB I wasn't that interested until I started reading all of your posts. I ended up rereading the book so I could join in. Maybe someone will come up with another book!

Mhz, I dont remember the source on the stripper thing but it soundsclukely he married so young looking for a little younger and some strange sounds pretty right for a rocker even a quiet one like John Deacon.The newness must have worn off the boob job because he is back with old faithful like he should be the mother of his children.I know a women that has 5 children and they all have different fathers I just cant fathom that I'm a bit old fashioned 3 kids one man all the same dad for me.Even if I divorced I would have no more children I believe in having children by one man and then your done.Katydyd, getting drugs anywhere is risky for Freddie it was a spit in the bucket he wasnt your average guy plus he had the cocaine queen Barbara Valentine where Cocaine was the Maine course she knew everybody.

So 1978 would have been before the Munich years, but perhaps John was beginning to think about straying even back then. I often wonder (and this is just me tossing out random thoughts here) whether once John’s wife found out about his dancer interaction and there were words....whether she gave him some kind of ultimatum...like, no more wandering around on tour or while recording, and as soon as Freddie was gone she told John no more touring or I’m taking the kids and leaving. That could have contributed to his social withdrawal and his fear of interacting....like maybe he worried he would get himself in trouble or his wife would get the wrong idea from someone, so it was easier just to stay hidden? Probably not, and I don’t want to make his wife out to be a controlling villain or anything. But I could see if your husband strayed like that maybe putting down some strong rules.
I love the song In Only Seven Days, I’m not even sure why, it’s kind of a happy little tune with a story. I like Mustapha too....the first time I heard it I was shocked and thought it was the strangest thing, but now I love it! I really enjoy the whole Jazz album, except for More of That Jazz by Roger. It always irks me that in the middle of the song there are a bunch of clips of the other songs, like someone is flipping a radio channel. It sounds like a mistake...and it just disrupts things...I can’t understand why they did it?!

John's fling was in 2002. I remember an article in Italian magazine with a photo of John staring mesmerized at the lap dancer, Emma Shelley, while she was perforrming.
The photos and original articles seem to be long gone but the text has been preserved from an article on the People website.
St. Jiub, that makes me sad for all the people involved. Nobody wins in a situation like that.
MHZ, I've always figured John stopped touring after Freddie died because he thought Freddie was not replaceable.

Thanks, Saint! I knew there was stuff out there, just never saw it. So the timing is much later, kind of interesting I guess. One would think he would be little more discreet....but then again we don’t know whether or not it is even true. I am still hopeful he remained a dedicated family man and that the reports are just tabloid stuff!

I think we are all humans and sometimes tragedy may play apart in our actions and choices.I dont know if this was John's situation or he just married so young and got to living life in the fast lane of a wild and popular upcoming band.Queen knew how to through a party fish tanks with naked painted people in it and women smoking cigarettes from their vaginas .Wow Freddie had given orders at one party to gather up every strange available freak there was and bring them to Queens party and they did.Freddie was an accepting person and wanted everyone to party their ass off and have a good time I just dont know how this affected poor John then the fact his friend a mentor he looked up too died of AIDS Katydyd you may be right it might have been to much for John.At least he went back to his love and she took him back forgiveness is a hard thing to do.

Freddie was truly an outstanding person. He brought so much joy into this world and made it sad when he's left. It looks kinda strange that persona this big never really had a proper bibliography. He has so much mystery around himself, also due to the fact that he was a very secretive person. It's so sad that don't have good [url=https://pdfmania.com/]pdf books[/url] about this legend person.
